Save the date! Porsche Parade 2020: Palm Springs will take place June 21 to 27 at the La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, California just outside of Palm Springs.
Porsche Parade, PCA’s annual weeklong event, takes place in a new location each year. For 2020, we’re heading to the Sonoran Desert of southern California known for its hot springs, stylish hotels, golf courses and spas. It’s also noted for its many fine examples of midcentury-modern architecture. In addition to traditional Parade activities such as concours, autocross, time-speed-distance and gimmick rallies, the surrounding Coachella Valley offers hiking, biking and horseback riding trails.
An annual event showcasing vintage race cars, a great racetrack, and much more.
Waterford Hills Road Racing hosted the Meadow Brook Historic Races for 19 years, last held in 2002. In 2008 we celebrated our track’s 50th anniversary with a vintage racing weekend.
Since 2011, the annual Waterford Hills Vintage Races are back to stay. We welcome all vintage road racers and fans to come and celebrate the heritage of road racing with fabulous historic cars and great racing.
Celebrating the Oddball, Mundane, and Truly Awful of the automotive world.
Concours d’Lemons brings Hoopties, Rust Buckets, Misfits, Mistakes and the worst of the automotive world to the Concours of the America’s weekend in Michigan. The Concours d’Lemons Michigan will take place on July 25, 2020 at the Inn at St. John’s, on a corner of the golf course that no one cares about. How fitting. But hey at least we are on the property and on the green of a major concours. All of regular Concours d’Lemons hi-jinx will ensue, capricious judging, bribery, awful trophies and even worse cars. If you take yourself or your car very seriously, this isnt the show for you. Hagerty Insurance has has stepped in to add a shred of legitimacy to this farce so be sure to thank them for the laughs. The best part is that the show is free for participants and spectators, so you’ll get exactly what you pay for.
Come check out the action! We won’t be there, but look for the Munk’s Motors cars. There are currently seven drivers in the “Munk’s Racing Family”; any or all of them may race this weekend.
The official event date is August 15, but the week leading up to the event is just as memorable!
Look for us on August 15th in the parking lot of Kerby’s Koney Island, at Woodward and Square Lake Rd. We’ll be with the vintage VWs.

Mark Your Calendar!
In keeping with the spirit of “The Blessing of the Bikes” typically reserved for our Hell’s Yuppies friends, please join us on May 5, 2018 for The Blessing of the Buses!
The Blessing of the Buses is a spin on the ever-popular Blessing of the Bikes. This second annual Blessing of the Buses is scheduled for Saturday, May 5, 1018. It is a rain-or-shine event and is open to anyone owning any of the four generations of VW buses.
Father Angelo Maggos, a former bus owner, will perform the blessing at 11:00AM at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church located at 2245 East Baldwin Road; Grand Blanc, MI 48439 with lunch at the Church to follow the blessing — if faced with inclement weather, lunch will be inside the Church Hall.
For those interested, a group of contiguous campsites will be reserved at Groveland Oaks County Park ((248) 634-9811) located at 14555 Dixie Highway; Holly, MI 48442. The park is an approximate 15 minute drive and nine miles from the Church. Campsites are classified as modern having both electric and water service; a fire ring is also resident on each site. Additionally, hot showers and full toilet facilities will be open for our group. We will also have access to a pavilion where live music will be provided beginning early evening. BTW, you can camp the evening before the blessing. Make your reservations directly with the campground but please contact me to confirm and review details.
Our vision is a well-intended get together among like-minded folks and to grow the event into a regional kick-off of the VW Bus camping season in Michigan. We encourage you to mark your calendars and please keep in touch with event hosts Jim and/or Liz Christopher: jtchristopher@comcast.net or (810) 217-1280 – Jim’s Mobile.
A donation to the church is suggested but optional.
Stay well and look forward to seeing you May of 2018! And, don’t hesitate to spread the word….
